I wonder too, I was planning on picking up my whites from there. But I can run over to Luva Bella's I can't get from Consumers

Cooseman's has a location in the "Strip", currently. They do sell juice buckets (Not certain about grapes.). They are in the Produce Terminal Building. I suspect that they'll be closing that facility and consolidating into Consumer's Produce. Just a guess on my part.

No fear. I am with Ron from consumers and he said they are moving to his building. Nothing will change with consumers out the other folks add to what they carry but we all know how that goes
